    I have the 1979 cd single from this box for sale: $10. Condition is near mint. If interested me.

      Is this supposed to be part of Aeroplane Flies High? Got this at a thrift store by itself two years ago and the matrix either refers to this or copies of the full Aeroplane set. (and there's not a barcode)

        Certainly the best thing the Smashing Pumpkins have released.
        I was there at the Belfort concert, what a great surprise to find the show released in DVD in the boxset reissue, huge sound and huge version of XYU.
